FIVE SENTENCE FICTION - Edge

Another Thursday has come and gone, and yesterday as usual Lillie McFerrin [ www.lilliemcferrin.com ] has given another prompt word for which we're required, if we so choose, to endeavor to write a Five Sentence Fiction; and for this week the prompt word is: "EDGE."

After giving this prompt some thought I wrote a Five Sentence Fiction entitled "An Eternity Together" using the meaning of "BRINK" for the prompt.
Would love to hear your comments.

AN ETERNITY TOGETHER
E dgar has always been a daredevil.
D oreen has always been an extreme cautious individual.
G eographical opposites, yet they have always seem to have made for each other in more ways than anyone could have ever imagined.
E ternity must have always planned that they’ll always be together especially after almost 75 years of being happily married to each other, albeit with lots of suffering and caring for the past three months.
When the time came for one of them to come to the EDGE of dying, the other felt the same thing; for that night they went to sleep holding their hands, ever more to see the dawn of the next day.

If you noticed, once again I've added the element of using an acrostic in my endeavor.

THINGS ARE HAPPENING

By now you probably can tell by my recent posts I haven't done much, if any, writing on my second romance novel. Instead I've been busy writing Flash Fictions, and networking to get interrviews, spotlights for my YA romance nover, I Kissed a Ghost.

As of today, I've had 8 interviews posted, 2 SpotLights for my book posted, as well as 2 guest blog posts. In additional I've completed 8 interview questionaires, and I'm merely for the date when they'll be posted. A complete listing for these can be found on my website at http://mypennameonly.webs.com/myinterviewsspotlights.htm

If anyone does interviews on your blogs, I'd like to be interviewed by you. I'm also available to do a guest blog post.

Lastly, the Kindle version of I Kissed a Ghost, will become available around April 24th.

TRIFECTA 33 WORD CHALLENGE - ADVICE

This week this site  http://www.trifectawritingchallenge.com/  has us to write 33 words on the subject of ADVICE regardless of what kind of ADVICE it would be. For this challenge I chose to write the following general ADVICE, and to do so in the form of an acrostic

Always go to a

Definite expert when seeking

Very important advice regardless of the subject matter.

Ignorance is not always bliss because it

Can lead to

Extremely disastrous consequences you'd rather not face.

Would love to hear your comments.

FIVE SENTENCE FICTION - Words

Lillie McFerrin gave us   WORDS  as the prompt for this week's Five Sentence Fiction
[ http://www.LillieMcFerrin.com ]

And once again for this week's endeavor, since the prompt once again had 5 LETTERS, I decided to start each sentence with one of the letters in the word.  As a result the prompt appears not only in my endeavor; it also appears looking down the sentences

SOOTHING WORDS

W hen I was young and began to go to school, anytime strange events occurred I told my mother.

O f course she always had the proper WORDS to use to try to comfort me about each one.

R egretfully I can’t return to those days of my youth where all was well in my world; because a tragic event came into my life last week.

D eath, the tragic event which always destroy anything good, came last week and took her away.

S adness did creep into my life knowing she’ll never be around for us to talk to each other any more like we did in those wonderful days of my youth, but the memories of these same days and her WORDS will live in my mind and heart forever.


NOTE: Apparently, I didn’t when I wrote these five sentences, based on the few responses I’ve already received, I didn’t realized how powerful the words might prove to be. Rest assured this is fiction. My mother had died over 19 years ago, but her memory is still with me, in my heart and in my mind; just as all of your loved ones who have passed away are with you.
 

GOT TO USE AN IDIOM

This weekend at the Trifecta Writing Challenge they're asking for exactly 33 words including an idiom somewhere within. Examples of idioms include - add fuel to the fire or wear your heart on your sleeve.

Here is my endeavor in response to this week's challenge:

Joe and Charlotte had a wonderful yet usual relationship in which they loved each other more after a huge argument where each one kept on ADDING FUEL TO THE FIRE of their disagreement.

FIVE SENTENCE FICTION - Flame

Here is my endeavor for this week's prompt from Lillie McFerrin [http://www.lilliemcferrin.com] of FLAME

LIFE'S CANDLE


F rom the moment I first the light in her face I knew there was something special about her, something no one else ever saw.

L ove came easy, as it had been like Kismet had brought us together.

A nd yet, all the time I sensed there had been a hidden secret she held from me, because why has she returned her love to me when no one else ever had.

M aybe, I ever received any love in return because most people saw the beast I looked like, and not the person I am inside.

E nduring the pain of no love has finally ended before the FLAME on the candle of my life has burned itself out.

NOTE: Not only have I used the prompt in these five sentences has required, the first letter of each sentence also forms the word

It’ll be just lovely                                                                                                                                                     
To look at me from behind                                                                                                                                
As others usually do

Please, is my hair combed                                                                                                                       
Without single strand astray                                                                                                                         
Perfect, glad at last

Are my clothes wrinked                                                                                                                            
Because I’ve got no iron                                                                                                                                    
For them to be gone.

Perfection at last                                                                                                                                                     
I now can venture outside                                                                                                                                  
To imperfect world
